1 Check the connection and locking condition of
the crankshaft position sensor coupler.
Disconnect the coupler and check the pins.
(bent or broken terminals and locking condition
of the pins)Poor connection → Properly con-
nect, repair, or replace.Crank the engine and
check the fault code dis-
play.
